A FAMOUS FORGER.

Bidweu, Who Did the Bank Of England
Up for an Immense sum, Reaches
America. Fresh from His English Prison.
NEW York, August George Bidweu,
the forger, who was pardoned from an Eng
ish prison two weeks ago, and who arrived
in this city a few days ago was arrested to-
day by Central Office detectives and taken to
police headquarters. Bidwel was this after
noon taken before Justice Duffy at the
jackson market police court, and there be-
ing no affidavit of complaint against him,
he was arraigned as d suspicious character.
In giving an account of himself in response
to the charge, he stated to the justice that he
was now a reformed man, had changed his
mode of life, and the remainder If his days
would be spent in an effort to redeem the
wrongs he had done to society and to his
family. It was painful to him to recall
his misdeeds, but when compelled to do so
he felt 1t but Just to say that IN regard to the
fOrgeries upon the Bank of England, the IN
stitutiOn had recovered S5,OJO,OOO which he
got from 1t, and he had served fourteen
years IN DartmOOr prison, tve years OF the
time being spent in a locked cell, shut out
from the sunlight or the sight of the earth.
For five years he was shut up IN dark
cell because his keepers professed TO be
leve he was shammIng sickness. 1t had
taken Great Britain eight years to find
out that he was sick. In prison he had
learned to read and write French, German,
italian, Latin and Greek, and had passed
away some of his time in writing verses. His
wife had been true to him all this time. She
was a noble woman, and he now put himself
wholly under her care and guidance. He
had a son, who was now wealthy, and who
had the largest house in the state where he
lived. BidWen did not care to name the
state.
Justice Duffy asked the detectives if they
had any charges to make. They said they
had none, and the justice, saying that he was
always glad to help any man reform, dis
charged Bidwel, who departed free man.

JOcularly remarked that IT was such as those

LITTLE Rock, ARK, August 3.-An Indian
Territory special says: Later returns from
the election for chief of the ChsrOkees indi-
cate that AIayes has been chosen over Bunch
by a small majority Joel b. Mayes, the
newly elected chief, is One-quarter Cherokee
and belongs to an IlustEiOus family. He
was chief justice of the supreme court of
the Cherokee nation for a term of years and
Is an able and distinguished man. Samuel
SmiIh, who was elected assistant chief,

political situation in the Cherokee country.
Bushy Head and Bunch have held the Office
for years and have shaped the policy of the
Cherokee nation regardless of the wishes Of
the masses. The official machinery was
under their control and their defeat was re
garded as almost miraculous. Mayes is
liberal and progressive and is pledged to re-
form. He Is chosen for a four year

among the uuionists. When the result of
the election of Sir George Irevelyan from
Glasgow became known IN the house mem
bers deserted the benches and hOcked to the
Hobbies, where they earnestly discussed the
political outlook. The home rulers were
jubilant.
The ministerialists admit that a mOdiica-
ton of the governments Irish policy Is prob
able under this conclusive proof OF the
spread of GladstOnianism. The section of
the conservative party which was pressing
the cabinet to proclaim the national league
was on the verge OF success but IL Is
thought the efforts of these conservatives
will now be Intellectual and that all efforts of
the government toward coercion VIII be re-
Taxed.
George Trevelyan, in a speech this even
ing, said that his victory made IL next TO m
possible for the government to proclaim the
Irish National league. The election, he de-
clared. largely settled the ''Irish question"
Henceforth ireland must be treated IN a
